Virtual Conference
The Value of Virtual
They say "Go big or go home."
So when people stayed home, IWL went BIG!
The 11th Annual IWL Fall Women’s Leadership Virtual Conference was an experience like no other. Nearly 1500 women—and men—embraced the "Be the Change" imperative.
The events of 2020 disproportionately affected women and set back recent gains in gender equality. For IWL, that meant our "why" mattered more than ever. When the world was forced to take a step back, we stepped forward. Our bold virtual pivot created the biggest event in IWL's history. The conference empowered people from around the globe with inspiration and strategies to accelerate the advancement of women fulfilling a prophecy in 2018 of "We're going global, baby!"

Changemaker Conversation
2020 was a year for the books. It provided leaders with an opportunity to make impactful change while also creating enormous pressure to balance work/life priorities and maintain morale. The “Changemaker Conversation” explored leadership during unprecedented times with a focus on the future. The Conversation touched on guiding employees and business during a pandemic while implementing and accepting change that meets the needs of companies, communities, and employees. The panel discussed how the conversation around racial equality has changed culture and thinking for a lasting impact. The audience learned how these successful leaders faced the challenges of 2020 and turned them into opportunities for growth and action—setting the stage for them to become "changemakers" as well.
